This dive site, located in the serene lagoon between the Tahiti Ia Ora Beach Resort (formerly Le Méridien) and Toaroto public beach, is renowned as one of Tahiti's premier snorkeling destinations. Its calm, shallow, and remarkably transparent waters make it an accessible and enjoyable spot for all, offering easy navigation simply by observing the coral formations and the sandy bottom.
Snorkelers and divers here can frequently encounter a vibrant variety of colorful reef fish swimming amongst the corals. While not guaranteed, lucky visitors may also have the opportunity to spot elegant eagle rays gliding gracefully through the clear lagoon waters.
The best time to visit this site aligns with Tahiti's generally favorable climate, making it an excellent year-round destination. It is particularly well-suited for beginners, families, and those looking to enjoy extended snorkeling or freediving sessions in a safe, visually rewarding, and relaxing environment.
